"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2013 Damian Swann wasn\u2019t sugarcoating when asked about Georgia\u2019s three losses this season. The senior defensive back felt the Bulldogs missed a real opportunity to not only win the SEC East, but to do more this season. Simply put, he didn\u2019t think they should be playing Louisville in the Belk Bowl.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CIt seems like we always find a way to lose a game we\u2019re not supposed to lose,\u201D Swann said on Monday. \u201CIf we don\u2019t lose those games, we\u2019re undefeated going into playing [Georgia] Tech hopefully punching our ticket to Atlanta. You know how it goes, man. You\u2019ve got to be the best team on that Saturday. Three of those Saturdays we weren\u2019t the best team.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Complete bowl schedule, TV times&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There\u2019s still the general sense of \u201Cwhat could have been?\u201D among some of the Georgia players, and it would\u2019ve been understandable if the Bulldogs came out flat in Charlotte and rolled over against the Cardinals. But even with the departure of offensive coordinator Mike Bobo to Colorado State, the Dawgs executed behind freshman sensation Nick Chubb in a dominant 37-14 win, their 10th of the season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Georgia went up quickly with a 45-yard strike from Hutson Mason to Chris Conley six-and-a-half minutes into the game. Freshman running back Sony Michel set up the next scoring drive after taking a screen pass 32 yards into Louisville territory. A few players later, Chubb went Beast Mode, barging through a couple of tacklers for a 31-yard touchdown run to put the Dawgs up 17-7.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It\u2019s the same type of running that Chubb demonstrated all season, and it\u2019s the type of running that took a little sting out of Todd Gurley\u2019s four-game suspension and torn ACL.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CNick had to do what he had to do and proved he could stand the rigors of it physically from just the pounding aspect and the conditioning aspect,\u201D Georgia Coach Mark Richt said after the game. \u201CHe proved he could do something like he did tonight going into this game. It wasn\u2019t a mystery to us that he'd be able to do something like this.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The freshman from Cedartown, Ga. took another carry 82 yards with Georgia inside its five midway through the third quarter, showing some speed and putting him over 100 yards for the eighth straight game. Michel scored from two yards out to give the Bulldogs a 27-7 lead not long after.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;STAPLES: An overlooked&amp;nbsp;WR&amp;nbsp;is set to cap his stellar career; Walkthrough&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chubb got his second touchdown with two minutes remaining to cap off his already incredible game.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ask any Georgia player about Chubb, and the superlatives start flowing.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CWhen we first found out about Todd being suspended,\u201D Swann said, \u201CI went up to him and told him before we went to practice, \u2018We don\u2019t need you to be Todd. We don\u2019t need you to be a hero. Whatever you do, you just run that ball the best you can. That\u2019s all we can ask for.\u2019 He came out and turned into a monster. Whichever offensive coordinator he gets, I\u2019m sure that guy's going to be happy he got him because he\u2019s going to run that ball.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chubb finished the season with 1,550 yards and 14 touchdowns on the year after his 267-yard, two touchdown performance against the Cardinals. He has the same type of bulldozing ability that Gurley showed in his time with the Bulldogs and is built like he was born to carry the ball 25 times per game.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mason referenced those few games when Gurley, Chubb and Michel were on the field together like some sort of magical dreamland.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CIt was really special to sit back there and watch when we had Todd, Chubb and Sony,\u201D Mason, who exited the game and didn\u2019t return due to concussion-like symptoms, said. \u201CI remember as a young guy growing up, the only thing in my time watching college football I can remember that was kind of that special was Cadillac [Williams] and Ronnie Brown at Auburn. I don't think people will really cherish and realize how special it was having two All-Americans and one guy that may be an All-American in the future. People that paid to watch them this year got their pennies worth.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;ELLIS: Notre Dame knocks off LSU in thrilling Music City Bowl&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;None of that makes the fact that Georgia missed out on capturing an easily winnable side of the conference any easier to stomach. The Bulldogs stomped eventual division champion Missouri, 34-0, in Columbia and (even including the South Carolina loss) had an outside shot to play their way into the top four if they could beat the teams they were supposed to beat.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then came the 38-20 loss to Florida on Nov. 1, in Jacksonville, where it looked like the Gators ran the same play over and over and dared Georgia to stop them.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After an overtime loss to Georgia Tech the last week of the season, Georgia found itself in a familiar place: playing in a bowl that didn\u2019t match up with the team\u2019s expectations coming into the fall.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CWe\u2019ve got to find those things that\u2019s going to make us be a consistent team every week,\u201D Swann said. \u201CWe have to do things the right way every week. Don\u2019t get me wrong. Everything about this program has changed. The way we work out. The way we practice. The way we train. The way we eat. Everything is moving in the right direction.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The future is bright for Georgia football. Richt has brought an influx of talent, and a lot of those freshmen \u2013 including Chubb, Michel and defensive back Dominick Sanders (who had two picks against the Cardinals) \u2013 got valuable experience over the course of the year.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Swann, who had an interception in his final game in a Georgia uniform, believes \u201Cwithin the next two to three years [the Bulldogs] are going to be competing for a national championship.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If that\u2019s going to happen, Chubb and Georgia\u2019s other young talent will be a big part of the reason why.&amp;nbsp;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
